Greetings Newbies if you are following me. This time I want to mention food stuff. If you've been surfing around you likely have found the food list. For those with their first biopsy/surgery the calorie requirements are not so critical. Basically you want a near liquid diet to get over the first week or two. The hospital juice, Jello, and tea will get old fast.

To digress a bit, my "last supper" was on Monday night, Dec.30/2013 at the Raga up Broadway from the Holiday Inn where we stayed on a nice medical rate. I recommend them. Supper was Prawns Vindaloo with rice and lots of cold water. It was great, really sets your face on fire. They do have less zippy fare; it's a great place to eat. Anyway, my surgery was on Tuesday, New Year's Eve. Supper that night and breakfast Jan.1 morning was juice, Jello, and tea. Ugggghhhhh. I got discharged shortly thereafter and we went back to the Holiday Inn to regroup and prepare to stay a couple more days. I did not want to fly back immediately for two reasons. One was germs etc., but the other was aircraft cabin pressure. I find that if I can't swallow well, and with force, my ears do not pop properly. Who needs a painful flight just to save a few bucks? Next we went food shopping. (I'm not sure why, but on long posts this thing slows down making typing a chore. Need new post.)
